I joined BlackGen Capital in my first semester of university, and the club has given me all of the skills, experiences, and relationships necessary to recruit successfully for my sophomore and junior summer internships. The education series took me from not even knowing what finance was to winning the stock pitch competition at the National Summit. For any freshman even remotely interested in finance, joining BlackGen Capital will be one of the best decisions you make.

Being a member of BlackGen has played a significant role in my recruiting journey by surrounding me with a community that emphasizes excellence, preparation, and support. As a freshman adjusting to the college lifestyle, networking with peers, navigating resources, and exposure to potential career paths are vital for my success in my first year at USC. The culture within BlackGen is rooted in mentorship and collaboration; members openly share resources, engage in coffee chats, and help each other navigate the recruiting process for careers in finance and consulting.

To me, BlackGen has expanded my financial knowledge and skill set while giving me a place to apply the concepts I learned in the education series through our final stock pitch projects. Through this experience, I have developed stronger analytical thinking, financial modeling, and the ability to communicate investment ideas clearly. Working alongside peers who share a passion for finance and push me to think more critically about investment strategies.

BlackGen played an important role in my recruitment process. The organization created a culture where members supported one another throughout recruiting. Senior members were always willing to help out and share advice from their own interview experiences. Among my peers, there was a strong sense of collaboration, and we frequently ran mock interviews together, which was extremely helpful in preparing for interviews.

BlackGen has been an incredible source of mentorship, opportunity, and community throughout my college experience. Through peer guidance, on-campus networking sessions, and a strong national network, the organization helped me navigate recruiting and connect with industry professionals who once stood in my shoes. BlackGen’s collaborative culture pushes members to succeed while ensuring no one has to navigate their finance journey alone.
